Allan I don’t disagree totally. I agree with you that the achilles heel of china is indeed the purchasing power of the usa consumer. Without us they don’t have enough consumers to fuel the train. In fact the same may be said for the entire world. I am concerned though with regards to the Chinese resource power play, military expansion, etc…
All in all I am much more concerned with our loss of personal freedom then anything else. Soon my government will tell me which health provider to use. Since they are doing that they can tell me what foods to eat or at least tax the hell out of those that they feel are not in my own best interest. I know that most people read this and laugh and I hope in the future I will to. We will also soon have advisory panels telling radio stations that they need to provide more diverse programming… Oh I guess having the freedom not to listen was my choice, not my governments choice. My bad….
It is just so scary watching this entire transformation and nobody seems to care. Those that do are labelled right wing crazies. In my entire life I can honestly say I have never seen such a cowed media as well.
So actually I AM PETRIFIED and I AM PAYING ATTENTION. I guess the things I am petrified about are much different then what everyone else is petrified about.
Sorry for that deviation…
Rt 66 sounds like we are actually more on the same page then not. Yes I made light of daveljs analysis but I do believe to be very rational by the way.
